"If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would that get me into Heaven?" A teacher asked the children in a Sunday School class. "NO!" the children all answered.
"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard, and kept everything neat and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?" Again, the answer was, "NO!"
"Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy to all the children and loved my wife, would that get me into Heaven?" The teacher asked them again. Again, they all answered, "NO!"
"Well," the teacher continued, "then how can I get into Heaven?" A five-year-old boy shouted out, "YOU GOTTA BE DEAD."
